Basically-1993 SSP, Calypso green with opal interior. No power option, only a/c, AM/FM, and auto trans. Factory 3.27 posi rear.
This is a list of what I have done to the car, I paid 3k for it.
-recon. the factory bumper cover, original vin still on it, paint to match, very close match on color
-new windshield (Ford)
-new Ford rivets for bumper cover-LMRS
-new headlight kit-LMRS
-Ford blue silicon hoses-LMRS
-new Modine correct type radiator-NAPA
-new Ford fan-LMRS
-new HD fan clutch-NAPA
-new smog pump-NAPA
-wires/plugs/cap/rotor-NAPA
-hinge pins for doors
-fuel lines(tank to metal lines)-MPS
-wiper blades-NAPA
-p/s pressure line
-carpet-ACC
-nos radio-eBay
-reconstruct door map pockets by pro upholstery shop
-new door weatherstripping-LMRS
The paint is original and shines well with some minor cracking of the top part's clearcoat. Car starts and runs exceptionally well, NO smoke or knock AT ALL even when stone cold. I have NOT put any additives in the oil, etc. I have driven the car approx. 1000 miles and changed the oil 2x with regular Valvoline. Again NO motor additives of any kind. It has had nothing but Chevron or BP gas since I bought it and ALWAYS 93 octane. No knock or ping, ever.
I disassembled this car down to the firewall and will post up some pics of it. Other than minor surface rust which is normal, this car has NO rust through or bubbling of the paint. As well the front frame structure is undamaged or repair, as far as I can tell. Even the back sides of the fenders were clean.
Now for the couple issues yet to be addressed. One is the transmission. The first 3 gears are like factory, shift well, no problems. 4th, or the OD, is gone. I drive this around town under 50 mph and it is excellent, just the 4th OD is gone. Secondly-the A/C is not cold. Heater is fine, and the air comes out of the proper vents, but just no A/C.
This car is equipped like a Florida HP Lt. car, but we have not been able to find it on any of the VIN lists. One antennae hole in the trunk lid. No spot light.
Mileage is 195,000 miles, it has a 6 digit odometer.
I am asking $5,000 for it which is barely what I have spent. This is a minimum. If I can't recoup my money I will use it as a driver and put the new GT in the garage for trips only.
Thanks, PM any questions, it is a good car,
Bret
